Car Parking Charges Update

Date: 2 October 2020

Time: 12:23

Orkney Islands Council reintroduced the first hour free in car parks around the county this week.

From October through to the end of April 2021, parking will be free for the first hour in the councils pay and display car parks.

Parking fees have also increased as agreed by Councillors at the start of the year.

This was due to be applied back in April but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when car park fees were suspended.
